How to launch Django development server with a different database setting (not default)

Question

i have different configurations for django database in settings, one named "default" and one named "clean".

How i can run the development server (python manage.py runserver ip:port) binding the "clean" database setting and not the default?

You can hold 2 different settings.py and while run manage.py do : python manage.py runserver --settings=[projectname].[settingsfile].

change the settingsfile according to your database.

thank you, i've missed that in the docs (maybe it's not there?) i've created another file settings who copies the standard default settings and changes the database

if DEBUG:
    DATABASES = {
        'clean': {
            'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.',
            'NAME': '',
            'USER': '',
            'PASSWORD': '',
            'HOST': '',
            'PORT': '',
            },
        }
else:
    DATABASES = {
        'default': {
            'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.',
            'NAME': '',
            'USER': '',
            'PASSWORD': '',
            'HOST': '',
            'PORT': '',
            },
        }

i dont like this because even if it's correct i have to load different databases for different purposes when DEBUG is True, so it's not enough

You should never use debug in a live environment, the server email setting is for that purpose

i have different databases in local environment, one to create fixture for test, the other for development. that's why it's not enough. of course in live envinronment DEBUG is False!
